Passage

A few hours ago, Evangeline Chipman - my last surviving grandparent and one of the strongest best people I'll ever know - passed away after having been in ill health for some time.

I'm not interested in getting into any more details than that. I share only because - while it's my intention to not interupt the workflow of my sites and projects (if anything, I really need the focusing-effect of work-to-be-done right now) - I can't say what sort of things arrangements and obligations will do to my schedules and output. So, if this blog or other venues seem to be either less active or less "upbeat" than usual, I ask your patience and understanding as to why that probably is.

This is going to be a very difficult period for me and for my family, and your support and understanding is deeply appreciated.

As someone who's also lost all their grandparents, you have my deepest sympathies.

You seem to be going through a rough patch lately (understatement, perhaps?), so I completely understand if you need some time. I'm a big fan of your work and want to let you know that there are a great many people on the net that share my appreciation. I'm sure we can all survive if the blog activity slows down for a while. No pressure.

Again, very sorry for your loss. Take all the time you need. You're still one of the coolest guys on the Internet.

Bob, we haven't been on the best of terms, but I am very sorry for your loss. The passing of a close family member is always a trying time, and I hope that you and your family get the solace you need in this time of grief.

As a long time viewer of your blog and online shows I've never really commented before, but I would like to break that silence by offering my condolences and support. Take all the time you need to recover Bob, we understand and will continue to support you whenever you get back to doing your thing.

I'm so sorry for you and your families loss. Take as much time as needed for your projects, we (as your fans) will understand. I can only hope that your family gets through this difficult time and look for better days ahead. And as for you, I can only recommend playing Super Mario Bros. 3 multiple times or doing anything that makes you feel better at this time. Take care

I'm really sorry for your loss, Bob.I too lost a grandparent recently, and the pain of losing them is awful as I have recently experienced. Hope you and your family are okay during this sad time, and remember your grandmother for being as strong as she was.
